this is not the way to phish me
a phishing email that start with an individually texted picture of Ted Cruz’s fucking face, followed by a message that thanks me for “always being a steadfast conservative” and gives me a phishing link for “Voter Verification”

This is fascinating social media jujitsu. Faine gets attacked by people clout-farming off of empty gestures and ineffectual posting about Gaza, and uses all the negative attention to do something that is *actually* equal to BSky's affordances: crowdfund for their friend.

twitter post with a Super Bowel photos of Ice Spice holding up her pinky and pointer finger while Taylor Swift chugs a beer nearby. Ice Spice is wearing some cool cross medallion she reportedly got as a gift from Playboy Carti. The tweet reads:

“Nothing to see here, just Taylor Swifts guest Ice Spice throwing up demonic signs while wearing a upside down cross making sure the world sees it on the big screen.

DEMONS.”

A four-panel comic strip. In the first panel, a person is knitting and saying, "What a relaxing new hobby I've found!" A large purple creature with horns suggests, "Turn it into a side-hustle!" In the second panel, the person appears distressed, saying, "C-can't I just enjoy it?" while the creature insists, "NO! Make your passion your passive income!" In the third panel, the creature yells, "MONETIZE YOUR FREE TIME!!!" as the person looks overwhelmed. The final panel shows the person sitting behind a small stall with a sign reading "KEVIN'S STUPID SCARVES $20 or whatever," selling knitted scarves, looking dissatisfied. The artist signature "@kmcshan" is visible.

This paragraph from the NYRB's review of Werner Herzog's new memoir is REALLY something else
As I turned the pages of Herzog’s book, and was shunted from one insane episode to the next, I was gripped by the tightening conviction that my own life was, by comparison, barely a life at all. I was not born into a country at war with the world. I have never been shot, or stabbed my own brother. I have never worked as an arena clown riding bullocks at a Mexican rodeo. I have never journeyed from Berlin to Paris on foot as a kind of magical-realist intervention to forestall the death of a beloved mentor. I have never cooked and eaten my own boot in fulfillment of a lost wager. I have never hauled a 320-ton steamship over a hill in the Amazon rainforest. I have never fallen into a crevasse while mountain climbing in Pakistan. I have never taken a trip to Plainfield,Wisconsin, with the intention of digging up the corpse of Ed Gein’s mother. I have never been bitten on the face by a rat while delirious with dysentery in a garden shed in Egypt. I have never swapped my only good shoes for a bathtub filled with fish in order to feed a film crew in the Peruvian jungle. I have never even met—let alone threatened to murder as a means of extracting a powerful cinematic performance from—the dangerous madman Klaus Kinski. And more’s the pity, I have to say—on all counts, with perhaps the exception of the rat bite/dysentery scenario.

Naomi Klein's "Doppelganger" came out just 4 weeks before the war in Gaza started
"The flip side of the post-World War II cries of 'Never again' was an unspoken 'Never before.' The insistence on lifting the Holocaust out of history, the failure to recognize these patterns, and the refusal to see where the Nazis fit inside the arc of colonial genocides have all come at a high cost. The countries that defeated Hitler did not have to confront the uncomfortable fact that Hitler had taken pointers and inspiration on race-making and on human containment from them, leaving their innocence not only undisturbed but also significantly strengthened by what was indeed a righteous victory."

I consume media nonstop but I have never really watched football so this is kinda fun. The announcers are a trip. I love the creaking diplomacy in their voices when they talk about fuck ups. “That was an… interesting decision” like they’re my mom describing my prom dress

This post has been haunting me all day. This hits home.
Twitter post from @eliciadonze:

"People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art." 

Tumblr post from angelnumbers:

The San Francisco therapist kept telling me I shouldn't be terrified of creative experimentation.

"I don't know what's going to come out of me," I told her. "It has to be perfect. It has to be irreproachable in every way."

"Why?" she said.

"To make up for it," I said. "To make up for the fact that it's me."
